Founded in 2013, the Men Singing Carols are a highly-rehearsed acappella ensemble of New York City carolers, singing custom & hip arrangements of Christmas carols, familiar holiday standards as well as great non-holiday songs. The Men work for months on their rich three-part harmony and charming, engaging performances. Their songs run the gamut of styles — from jazz to pop to ballads, and everything in between. And, just like their sibling ensembles, the Men's arrangements are lovingly hand-crafted by NYHS, Inc.'s musical directors specifically for this group.

All of our Men are experienced and seasoned NYC & holiday performers, and most are members of our wildly popular sibling ensemble the New York Holiday Choristers. The Men Singing Carols offer booking in half-hour increments in areas of Manhattan, with a minimum of three Men up to all of our Men, where available.

But while we absolutely adore the holiday season, we don't just perform Christmas carols! We have a selection of pop and secular music in our songbook as well, ranging from Billy Joel to Train to Harry Connick, Jr. to Bob Dylan — and more! Our Men imbue all the music we perform with the same charm and impeccably perfect performance style to bring the absolute best we can to every holiday event, whether it's your corporate Christmas party, a holiday party for friends and family, a holiday ladies' lunch, or more.

We Love The Season

All of our company's performers & management have a deep love the holiday season (as you may have seen in CBS Sunday Morning's profile of our company and interview with our founders), and we love creating memories for our clients and their guests. That's why all of our groups charm & delight our customers and their event's guests: we create happy memories.

The Finest Music In The Biz

Our music is all custom-arranged for our Men by our musical director, who's also one of our Men Singing Carols. Besides our jazz versions of Christmas carol favorites, we have moving & beautiful contemporary ballads such as "The First Noel" and "Silent Night," as well as male acappella treatments of some pop favorites as well as new standards. And we add more every year!

Experienced & Refined

The team behind our Men, New York Holiday Singers, Inc., has been pioneering the sophisticated, contemporary holiday acappella industry in New York City since 2009. We operate three groups, all with their own unique music and look, and have performed at hundreds of events over the years — as well as appearing on CBS Sunday Morning, The Rachael Ray Show, Fox 5 Friday Night Live, WFUV, WQXR, Fox News, and more. We're fully insured, and we work hard for months to make every performance special.

Worry-Free Entertainment, For Any Budget

Our experience and polish lets us get the job done.

Putting together a holiday event is stressful enough without having to stress about your entertainment. Believe us, we know this firsthand — the husband & wife team behind New York Holiday Singers, Inc., Jen Arvay Kefalas and Greg Kefalas, has not only been charming event guests for two decades, but were married in a holiday season wedding!

Jen & Greg personally handle all planning for your event, and their prompt & professional approach with decades of experience means that all of the t's are crossed and the i's dotted. So, you can relax and leave the entertaining to us. Plus, with our fun repertoire of all-original, contemporary versions of holiday favorites and new treasures, we don't just sing or carol — we bring a unique, truly fresh, and always charming level of entertainment to your event!

Book us for a half an hour or an hour, as featured entertainment, background music, laying down the soundtrack for a sophisticated holiday cocktail hour, or even setting the stage for Santa. It'll be the coolest Yule tunes you've heard.
